    Engine will not run

    I think Ed is my next solution if my next fix doesn't work. My friend just took my ECU out and it's lovely and wet :) I think a hairdryer on it might fix my issues. I'll get it dry and re-install then see if it fixes See images:

    Engine will not run

    Mine's not the facelift. The man at the scrapyard has a pre-nats ECU, 0 261 200 957 (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170959626075) I don't think this will fit mine. I'm really stuck for what to do here. I can't find the correct parts for my car & apparently Nissan will charge £750 for an ECU. I got the car...

    Yeh haha, I should be able to find it, a scrapyard sounds like he's got the bit for me (K11 first generation anyway)

    Engine will not run

    Thanks frank, do you know exactly where, or have a picture of the box from the n/s pillar? Edit, FYI all, my Micra is a 1.3 SR 1997 first generation of the K11's (K11C has the newer chrome grill attached to the bonnet)

    Engine will not run

    Current ECU is www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161065740108 (0 261 204 243) Could anyone advise a pre-nats ECU that is plug & play, same connection as this one? Otherwise I'll go my local breakers yard, they quoted me £60 for the ECU, Transponder & Key chip Can someone also advise why I'd need the ignition...

    Engine will not run

    Expensive to say I can get a working ECU reader & key chips on eBay for £50. I think I'll go to ebay for just a replacement ECU :)

    Engine will not run

    Got the RAC out today to look (used someone's breakdown cover) and he confirmed it's the NATs. Does anyone know the best place for a pre-nats ECU? That should fix all my issues :)

    Engine will not run

    I don't know if any is getting into the ECU, but its definitely getting into the air vents.. I've had the micra for a few months already and never had any water issues, plus it would've screwed up yesterday with all the driving in heavy rain, or first thing in the morning. It didn't rain at all...

    Engine will not run

    Also, things to note: I did about a 70 mile trip yesterday in heavy rain, no problems at all. It leaks water in the passenger footwell through the vents (can hear it sloshing around when it's raining and heaters are on), but this has never caused me any issues. It hadn't rained today up until...

    Subwoofer & Amp wire running

    Hi, I have had my Micra for a few days and love it already. Got the CD player working and it sounds good. Now all there is to do is put a sub in it. In my previous fiesta, there was a nice plastic trim running around the edge of the car that concealed the wires, however in the Micra there is...

    First Micra, second day, issues! :(

    Thankyou! This fixed it. My wiring had the 8x speaker cables, and 3x other wires. I used a volt meter to find permanent live and ignition live. The last cable remaining was 'beeping' on my volt meter to earth, so I presumed it was the earth. When I re-tested this 'earth', it is +12v when my...
